Fluorescent light of any wavelength, emitted by a microscopical specimen excited with visible light, can be observed using crossed polarizers and a dark-field condenser. The absorbance of Eosin is high in the green portion of the spectrum, so that visible light from a tungsten lamp is highly effective in exciting the fluorescence of this dye.Elastic fibres in routine sections stained with Haemalum and Eosin have been found to fluoresce rather strongly, while most other Eosin-stained structures fluoresce less or not at all. The reason for this relatively selective fluorescence of Eosin-stained elastic fibres is obscure, although the phenomenon may prove useful in routine histology. It is possible, however, that in most stained substrates the fluorescence of Eosin is largely quenched by aggregation of the dye molecules, but that this is inhibited inside the relatively dense (i.e.impermeable) elastic fibres.
